Just lazy, I guess

It's been a long weekend and I'm overloaded with chocolate, so just a few thoughts.

I do, personally, probably equate comics with superhero comics, just because that's what I read. I mean, when I say "I read comics" it does mean "I read superhero comics." I do read other things on occasion, but certainly in our house the comics are well over 90% superhero. (It's a contextual thing, of course--when I'm talking to people casually and say that I like to read books, I don't necessarily specify that I like to read (for example) old Nero Wolfe mysteries because it isn't important. If the conversation is more in-depth, I may want to be more specific.)

BTW, when I read WFA I don't read it all. I skip all of the manga links. I pick and choose which indie-related links I read. I sometimes skip links to posts on issues where I'm tired of (or was never interested in) that particular issue. My comic interests are somewhat narrow and I'm cool with that. Only so much time and money, after all. I suppose that when it comes down to it I am a fan of the genre more than of the medium. I also tend not to regularly read blogs that only talk about non-superhero comics. With a few exceptions, of course.

One nice thing about no one reading your blog is not having to worry about monitoring comments. So far no one has been mean to me, which is fortunate because I am such a sensitive soul. :) Keeping out the spam, on the other hand, is a concern. Sometimes it slips through Blogger's spam-keep-out thingie, no idea how.

I don't actually know whether everyone whose blog I read is male or female. Surprisingly often, it just doesn't come up. (It does in mine because of my kindasorta-theme of being a mom, but if you don't read the blurb you might well not know.)

I really liked this post about characterizations in Countdown. I do like Countdown but the discrepancies with the way characters have been portrayed elsewhere are rather extensive. I generally put it down to interdimensional jet lag.

Cadbury Orange Creme Eggs are pure awesomeness.
